The New Day

A Fresh Start

By Alexis MundyPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Each day's a new beginning.

So start it with a smile:

Enjoy the art of living.

Do worthwhile things.

Like loving and forgiving.

And having time to spare.

To make some person happy.

By showing that you care.

I am originally from the UK. Now living in New Zealand. My life so far has been a rollercoaster. I have children with special needs, lost my previous husband in 2008 and in 2021 my son Andrew died. Writing has and is cathartic for me!

I Dated My Boss, It Didn't End Well
I first met Jeff when I walked into the engraving store in the mall. My initial thought was that he was super cute. Then I remembered that I needed to be asking for a job application, not interviewing guys to be my boyfriend.
